Epson EcoTank Photo ET-8550 A3 All-in-One Ink Tank Printer is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 152.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from An amazing printer, but be ready to put the work This is an amazing printer! I would highly recommend it, just be ready to put in some work to get the most out of it. The reason it does such an amazing job is that it is so customisable. It is really crucial to understand how to use it well: what paper to use, with which settings etc because every one of those factors will affect the output. Don’t assume it is a bad printer if the output isn’t quite what you want. Try different papers on different settings. It has done beautiful fine art prints for me, beautiful photos and cards, but only when I test and try to get the best fit for each image and paper. I would highly recommend this printer!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Look great at first but then never switched back on:( The printer installation was very easy and smooth and I was initially impressed with the quality of the build and the printer. The app was excellent and stepped me through the installation process. The printer was performing very well. However, after two weeks, the printer asked to be switch off and restarted but never switched on again. On calling epson support, they inform me that I now need to somehow get it to a service centre located 20 kms away and be repaired. I'm pretty disappointed with the product and support. This shouldn't happen after two weeks of use. I wish I could be more positive as it was looking like a great printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Day one of our new Printer. The first 3 photos 2 @ A4 1 @ 6x4, Printed on Epson Ultra glossy paper, they look fantastic. Only niggles the written instructions don't line up exactly with the menu choice options. Also The app connection was not as seamless as I was expecting so couldn't use it set up the printer. The blue tooth never showed up on my iPhone. Also the written instructions don't mention that when you first power on and select the language. The printer does not go to the expected screen in the instructions. I found it was easier to do the manual set up at step 3 and then circle back for the networking. Small niggles but a non tech savy person may have struggled.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great quality, easy app-guided setup, and promising low running costs! I recently purchased the EcoTank Photo ET-8500 and have been using it for a short while. The setup was quite complex, but the accompanying app guided me through the process seamlessly, which was a relief. So far, I'm impressed with the quality and convenience it offers. The ink tank system is a standout feature, and I appreciate the easy filling process and the promise of printing thousands of pages without needing refills. The borderless printing and versatile paper options are also a big plus. I'm optimistic that the running costs will be as low as advertised, making it a great investment for high-quality, cartridge-free printing.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great features, but build quality could be better This is a great printer with a useful range of features, but the build quality has gone down. My previous Epson printer, the WF-5690, was a sturdy little workhorse with thick plastic trays and the ET-8550 feels more flimsy in comparison. This seems to be a cost-saving measure on Epson's part, as every other printer they're producing these days has a similar feel. I bought this printer for the A3 paper capacity, the cheaper ink, and the photo quality. I always buy Epson printers because of how easy it is to get them to communicate with my Apple devices. I'd love to see Epson give some upfront advice on how to adjust printer profiles for paper other than their own brand, but I don't think they'd see that as a smart marketing choice!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Have just purchased earlier today, but everything is going well As I've only purchased and setup my new printer today (Jan 28th, 2022); I won't be able to provide a more detailed review. Everything is working good, test prints; tax invoice of actual purchase, installing programs on my mobile phone and laptop (used cd supplied, but took a while to complete printer installation). It will mainly be used for school work (starts in 4 days!), as well as general printing of documents. I could print from my mobile phone, but need to actually use photo paper (smaller then A4) in a different paper tray which I don't have. Quite happy with everything being just the 1st day of use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from All rounder product After careful investigation of a couple of ink based printers, I came across the ET-8550 which had quite a lot of benefits for my use, namely, A3 printer in a compact size, huge savings on ink and full photo based printer which would be beneficial in creating my own albums and personalized birthday and gift cards for our friends. Initially I was thinking that the price is quite high when compared to other ink based printers however the extra features that are mentioned above do compensate for its value plus you get free a 3 year warranty on top. The printer is quite easy to set up and use so no issues there as well. Love the product and will recommend it to my friends.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Required to get warrantee This review is required to get the extended warrantee. If you are going to force people to write a review to get the extended warrantee, before they have used the printer enough to form an opinion, then this is what you should expect! This may be a good printer, or it may not, ask me again in 12 months

Questions & Answers

Hii can this printer printing be used for t-shirt printing

Asked by: Swalihah
Hi Swalihah. The Epson ET8550 is 6 colour multi-function printer. This printer is perfect for most sublimation products, especially for sublimation T-shirt printing. Sublimation shirt printing is a specific process of printing that first involves printing onto a special sheet of paper, then transferring that image onto another material (usually polyester or a polyester mix). The ink is then heated until it disintegrates into the fabric. You will need to used sublimation ink in the printer as well as the sublimation paper. But yes it is possible. We trust this helps

Does this printer print up to A3? Elsewhere I'm only seeing this model as A3, but on this website it's showing A4.

Asked by: CShores

What is the actual max scan size? Specs here say it's A3, but Epson website says it's A4.

Asked by: Zoran Nesic
Thanks for your question Zoran. We can confirm the max scan size on the flatbed is indeed A4 and has been updated to reflect this. The print size is A3 through the rear feed paper tray. Hope this helps clarify.
